Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Elizabeth Wallfisch & Australian Brandenburg Orchestra & Paul Dyer

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. The work exemplifies Baroque concerto writing through virtuosic solo violin passages, ritornello structures and programme-driven depictions of seasonal scenes, and it occupies an important place in Vivaldi's output as a key example of instrumental programme music.
First released: 1997
